Can Qoboz Connect sound better than Qobuz viz Aurender Conductor?

Either way, be sure to check out a filter between your Aurender and your ethernet input. I just signed up for Qobuz and was fearing it would be a little bright via the ethernet cable (even though it is direct from my AT&T fiber router with no other connections in place). As it turned out, it was a little "hashy". After investigating several options I chose a simple, straightforward unit.

I added an inexpensive iFi Lan Filter with opto isolator and instantly received much clearer signal. $300 investment.

Some of their wording:

"The iFi LAN iPurifier Pro is all you need to enjoy uninterrupted, clean data transmissions from your media PC, network streamer, or media player. By converting an electrical ethernet signal to a clean, optical signal, and then back to a "purified" ethernet signal, the iPurifier Pro effectively eliminates noise, jitter, and distortion for the best video and audio streams.

Many options out there. I chose this one and it is very satisfying.

And like all of you, I sure like the Conductor facilitation of combining Qobuz tunes with my hard drive tunes into playlists. Sweet.

Good listening!

@bugredmachine I too have the IFi pro connected from my router, with pos. results. I just introduced their ’’Power X’’ for my router power supply & it made a significant improvement. Worth a try everyone.

 I Waited a week before posting this because I didn’t want to take over this thread while it was active.  
I use both Conductor and Qobuz Connect because I have a few thousand albums on a NAS, and I have wondered about sound differences.  Those who prefer the sound of Qobuz Connect, can you tell me why?  What differences are you hearing?

Thanks all.

I have just implemented QC on my 2 Cambridge Audio streamers after software updates by CA made this possible.  It definitely sounds different-to my ears better- than the same stream being accessed via the CA Stream Magic app.  More presence, space between instruments, hall ambience
